Default Kaos Released II ...w/pics















falling in love all over again. new motor has 107 miles on it. time to get with it and start driving it more. gotta get it tuned. below is the last time i had it to the dyno. 10 psi, stock bottom end, 6l heads and stock 98 cam. some of those things have changed so we will see how it does on 10 psi now.

I can't really imagine a 50 dollar clutch holding too much...

Looks great..mine should look sorta similar.Its also red. Figure it will be running with new motor by next summer. Might run turbos this year on current motor see how it goes.Also would have to decide if should install new gt7 cam in current motor with my new fast 90 and planned NW 90 tb and patriot lq9 heads. Or wait and throw the goodies in likley a 402 iron block forged build up.
Your dyno looked pretty good did the stock engine hold up at 10psi for long?
I think even with heads to lower compression and maybe water /alco injection and my big intercooler still think would stay at 7 top 8 psi.Seen several lt1 pistons blown up from forced induction already no ls1's yet but they are made of same stuff.
Alslo would think could hurt the turbo having pistons disintegrate like that.

Big congrats, has to be a nice feeling finally getting behind the wheel again !

In a way we're "W2W March Special brothers", the install of my W2W shortblock that we both got that killer deal on should be finished this weekend.

Just waiting for some mystery parts to get back from the powdercoater.

Cheers,
Rob (Bad30th)

I don't know about 10's, but I've heard of 11's... It has been done, but BE READY for the BOOM.
